Today is another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and that means a new challenge. Valentine's Day is fast approaching and chances are good you need a few cards for that occasion so we want you to make a Valentine's Day card but we want you to try your hand at a VINTAGE VALENTINE.

If you have never tried to make a vintage style card, don't be intimidated because you probably already use many of the techniques required, such as distressing. So dig out some ink to make your paper look old, rummage through your button jar or your ribbon scraps and let's see what you can create.

Each week we will choose one random winner, who will receive a free digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on your blog. If you use a Sugar Creek Hollow image you will get two entries in the random draw. Just follow the instructions on the sidebar to link your second entry.

Each week the Design Team will choose a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will get a badge to display. One overall winner will be chosen each month from the Cards of the Week. That person will be invited to be a Guest Designer and participate in the next challenge. An image will be provided to them to work with. The Card of the Week prize will be given when we have a minimum of 10 entries.

Now...before we get into our challenge I want to share a "New Image Reveal" with you. This is our new "Get-Well" Vintage label designed by our tutorial artist Mary.

Our designers all used the same image this week and have created some wonderful and very different inspiration for you and we hope you will check the details out on their blogs by clicking on their name.

Welcome back to Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. Today our challenge to you is to make a paper crafting project with fabric (but no bows). You can use the fabric as your background, create a flower with it or even print your image on it. Perhaps you will come up with a use for fabric that we did not think of so we can't wait to see your project.

Each week we will choose one random winner, who will receive a free digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on your blog. If you use a Sugar Creek Hollow image you will get two entries in the random draw. Just follow the instructions on the sidebar to link your second entry.

Happy New Year and welcome to Sensational Saturdays at Sugar Creek Hollow. We have lots of exciting new changes to share with you and there will be more coming as we move further into 2011.

We will be working on a face lift but in the meantime we have started to re-arrange things and posted the challenge rules on our sidebar. Our challenges are open to any paper crafting project unless the challenge calls for something specific. You will notice that our designers create inspiration for you in a vintage or shabby chic style but unless the challenge calls for it you are not required to create in those styles unless you wish to. We hope that you will give it a try though.

Each week we will choose one random winner, who will receive a free digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on your blog. If you use a Sugar Creek Hollow image you will get two entries in the random draw.

The Design Team will also choose a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will get a badge to display. One overall winner will be chosen each month from the Cards of the Week. That person will be invited to be a Guest Designer and participate in the next challenge. An image will be provided to them to work with. The Card of the Week prize will begin once we reach a minimum of 10 entries.

Now for our first challenge for 2011. We have a great sketch for you to work with. Feel free to rotate it or flip it but please make sure that we can recognize the sketch in your creation. To enter your card, please use the linking tool at the bottom.

Our designers have created some wonderful inspiration for you and we hope you will check the details out on their blogs by clicking on their name.
